The Get Up Kids Band

The Get Up Kids are a second wave emo band from Missouri formed in 1995. Theyve released 5 records, their sophomore record Something To Write Home About is widely considered as one of the finest records the midwest emo scene ever produced.

Talk about one of the most influential bands for our little scene. Kind of the scenes answer to The Smiths: widely influential, both humorous and poetic, and are probably your favorite bands favorite band. From Motion City Soundtrack to The Wonder Years to Thursday to Weezer and several others, their influence is wide and still felt today.

 

For as lauded STWHA is, I feel that On A Wire and especially Guilt Show are incredibly underrated. I want a pressing of Guilt Show ASAP

 

heyyooo fellow TGUK fan what up

yeah i totally agree. i didnt care for the 2011 record, but the other 4 are fantastic slices of emo tinged pop rock. this is one of those bands that i absolutely adore but i never talk about haha. its unfortunate how forgotten theyve kind of become

 

Love this band. I listened to Four Minute Mile for the first time in awhile a few days ago. I'm usually so focused on STWHA and On A Wire that I forget how much I like that album.

 

new tunes please omg

 

Fix the first post to The Get Up Kids ARE a band. I saw them like, 3 weeks ago

 

Yes your highness

 

Atta boy!!

New music please

 

I listened to some New Ams today. Still holds up.

 

why did TAR have to suck so bad

 

I like TAR, but yeah it's not their best album. Still a worthwhile and enjoyable listen

 

I was so excited for TAR, but I don't like it at all. One of my least favorite albums from a band I love.

 

Guilt Show and Something To Write Home About will always hold a special place in my heart. Never could get into There Are Rules.

 

here to voice there are rules support

 

Guilt Show is far and away my favorite, and I was honestly a bit bummed when I saw them a few weeks ago that they played nothing from it. 6 songs from STWHA, and a few older songs from EPs and standalones, it was a weird set

 

want to see Guilt Show top to bottom because it's their best record

 

Tour:

 

There Are Rules is still fucking awesome

 

Saw TGUK last night in Indy. Sounded great and played all the hits.

 

Woodson EP/4 minute mile/ STWHA are all incredible. The others are enjoyable as well. Great band.

 

am i the biggest There Are Rules fan on this board? yes? okey doke

 

There are some really good songs on there, haven't listened in awhile. Wonder if they put out new stuff soon

 

i really need Worse For The Wear to be one of the Vagrant 20th anniversary re-presses. also can't wait until they put up Guilt Show
